(Net Wang) I saw the prince riding a horse

Pu Wei/Wen Jinjiang

Another morning, the sun was shining softly outside the glass window. Mrs. Hayakawa put the cut oranges into the juicer as usual, and the small bread machine beside her was heating the toast mechanically. The pan is occupied, and three heart-shaped eggs are fried.

When Mr. Hayakawa came down from the second floor, he was still flipping his bow tie. Mrs. Hayakawa heard the sound of slippers mopping the floor, and looked up to see that her husband hadn't packed it up. She sighed, washed her hands, and wiped them on her pink apron. Wiped, stretched out his hand to tie his tie, and then kissed him on the cheek.

"Where's Nako?"

Mr. Hayakawa looked up at the stairs helplessly.

"Let her sleep for a while. It's the first day of school today. It's okay to be late. I think she didn't sleep well last night."

Mrs. Hayakawa opened her mouth and nodded in a depressed mood.

"Then you sit down first, I'll bring out breakfast, and you remember to accompany Nako to the new school later."

"This is the third room. What if I transfer to another school? Nako has no close friends at this age."

Mrs. Hayakawa babbled, she kept moving her hands, and laid out the breakfast in the kitchen one by one.

The clock reached 11:[-], and footsteps sounded on the second floor. A girl with a ponytail walked down the escalator slowly. She was wearing the school uniform of the Youth Academy. She was [-] years old and had a beautiful appearance and fair skin. The skin under her eyes turned dark. She yawned and greeted Mr. Hayakawa, who was reading the newspaper leisurely on the sofa.

"Baby didn't sleep well yesterday?"

Mrs. Hayakawa brought out the hot breakfast, and kissed Nako's forehead distressedly. Nako Hayakawa had already gotten used to it, and sat down at the dining table with no expression on her face.

"Thank you, I'm going to eat."

Nako Hayakawa ate very softly and ate quickly, and just 10 minutes later, she drank the last sip of orange juice.

"Okay, let's go."

She took the schoolbag on the sofa and the lunch bag handed over by Mrs. Hayakawa one by one, and stood at the entrance quietly changing her shoes.

"Nakko, go to the car and wait for me first."

Mr. Hayakawa tidied up the newspapers, got up and picked up the briefcase and gave Mrs. Hayakawa a good morning kiss, then put on his shoes and walked out of the house in Mrs. Hayakawa's sight.

As soon as I left the house, there was a big temperature difference between morning and evening in April, and Mr. Hayakawa stomped his feet in the cool wind. When I looked up, I saw Nako Hayakawa standing next to his car. The clothes of Youth Academy were full of early spring, like spring grass. .

"You forgot to take the coat Ye Yi prepared for you."

He handed the jacket to Nako, took out the car keys from his suit pants, and signaled Nako to get in the car with his eyes.

Nako Hayakawa didn't speak, she quietly got into the car with her coat in her arms, Mr. Hayakawa looked at Nako's expression in the rearview mirror, reached out and took a grape-flavored lollipop from the storage box next to her and handed it to Hayakawa In front of Nako.

Habitually taking the things handed to her, she found out that it was a lollipop when she held it in her hand. She frowned for the first time and wanted to decline politely.

"Yeyi said this is the newest flavor, and you'll like it."

Nako Hayakawa did not express her reluctance, and stuffed the lollipop into the pocket of her coat.

Mr. Hayakawa breathed a sigh of relief. He is a workaholic, and he seldom spends time with Nako. He occasionally sits together and doesn’t know how to communicate with her. However, Noi will carefully prepare these things for him to ease the relationship between the two.

"The anniversary of Ximei's death is coming next month. When the time comes, we will go to worship together as a father and daughter. I will spare some time at the company. I heard that the hot springs in Sendai are also good. Early spring is just right. What do you think?"

"Well, mom also likes little daisies."

She added a sentence with a calm expression.

Then the two didn't know how to speak, and there was silence in the car, and Mr. Hayakawa turned the car around the traffic light.

"Nako, shall we go to the shrine again this weekend?"

"No need, I have been to so many shrines, and the Miko said that there is no other way, and it would be a waste of time to go again."

The car stopped at the gate of Youth Academy, Nako Hayakawa got out of the car and waved to the people in the car.

"You walk slowly."

All of Mr. Hayakawa's words were choked in his throat. He smiled awkwardly and drove away. The rush hour in Tokyo reduced his speed, and he had time to think about how Hayakawa Nako became what she is now.

---- Reticent and tortured.

Saito Ximei met him in college and was fortunate to be married. They gave him countless supports in the early days of his business. Ximei's parents did not agree with him as a poor boy at first, but the love in his youth was enough to comfort all the suffering in life.

They fell in love and accompanied each other. Ximei had a child, and Ximei's parents began to open their hearts to him. He originally thought that this was the end of all good stories. When he was pregnant in July, Ximei was born prematurely and encountered dystocia. He and both parents were in surgery. After standing outside for a long time, his feet started to go numb, and when he was dizzy, the doctor came out and shook his head tactfully.

"The adults couldn't keep it, and the child encountered a little trouble when it was taken out. Fortunately, the mother loves the child very much and exhausted all her strength."

When the female nurse came out holding the baby, her face was gentle.

"It's a lovely girl, sir."

Hayakawa couldn't hear other people's voices, and he didn't have time to look at the child. He stumbled into the operating room. Ximei, who had been comforting him earlier, was now lying peacefully on the cold bed. He wanted to go to the operating room. Seeing her hugging her and kissing her, but being pushed away by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, they cried more sadly than him, hugging Ximei and not letting go.

He stood at the same spot and looked at Ximei from a distance. In his mind were the memories of the two of them. Since Ximei followed him, she was troubled by trivial matters every day. Unlike other women, she even went out after getting married. Work, which is actually very rare in Japan, but Ximei comforted him gently every time, tears flowed from his eyes, crying like an adult, if Ximi was here, he would definitely say he was ugly.

"gentlemen."

The female nurse whispered beside her.

"Don't know what the child's name is?"

"Hayakawa Nako." This is what Nishimi thought about long ago.

The female nurse nodded and left. The two of them did not expect that they would meet at a blind date party a few years later, and then they would become husband and wife.

And Hayakawa Nako doesn’t know if it’s because of dystocia. She loves to cry since she was a child. At first, it was better. After she was three years old, she started to wake up in the night and cry loudly. At that time, his company was already on the right track and every day was very busy. , he tried to send Nako to her parents' house, but she cried even harder.

He had a headache, and thought about finding a nanny to take care of the children. Professional nanny prices are high and scarce. The nanny he found with great difficulty resigned in a hurry after staying for less than a week. He didn't even want the salary, and just wanted to leave immediately. He asked her Why, do you feel that the money is too little?

"Sir, your child is so strange. He often pointed at my back and called auntie, and asked me to find her mother, saying that her mother hadn't come back for a long time. When I came, I heard from you that your wife three years ago It just passed away, and it terrified me so much."

After hearing this, Hayakawa's first thought was what other ideas did his father-in-law instill in Nako?He and his father-in-law and mother-in-law have long been at odds with each other. After Ximei passed away, they didn't allow him to touch him, and he wasn't even allowed to attend the funeral. He could only stand in front of his house when sending Nako over.

"Nakko, tell me, who is the mother you are talking about?"

Nako Hayakawa was sitting on the table in the study, holding a picture book in her hand. At the age of three, she already knew a lot of words. She opened her round black eyes and said strangely.

"Mom is Ximei. Dad, you are so bad that you don't even remember your mother. Sometimes your mother even kisses you, but you actually forget her."

Hayakawa never told Nako who her mother was, because he didn't know how to speak. He wanted to wait for Nako to grow up before telling her. He even thought that if Nako asked, he would use other people's methods to coax the child Tell her that mom has gone to heaven.

Only now did he discover to his horror that Nako hadn't asked about Ximei since she was born.

"Then... where's your mother?"

The little Nako seemed to be looking at a fool, she pushed the book in her hand away, and said softly.

"I said, my mother is gone! She said she can only accompany me for three years."

"Where did she go?"

"My mother said that she is an undead and will dissipate when the time comes, but she will always be with me, but now I call her and she ignores me."

"Ask me to tell you when mom leaves." Nako raised her small fist to her mouth and coughed.

"Qingzhi, don't go drinking anymore, find a good woman to spend the rest of your life, and raise Nako well."

When things got to this point, Hayakawa suddenly realized that his child was indeed a little different. He took Nako off the desk and drove to the nearest shrine.

That is, when Hayakawa Nako was three years old, she also found that she was different from others. She began to wear a guard on a regular basis. Although this would make her very happy and not have to see some ugly things, she would never see Simi is gone, she has no friends.

When Nako was eight years old, the omori lost its effect on her, and the ghosts she had seen but forgotten reappeared before her eyes, and she began to understand why so many children called her a freak.

She's really weird, isn't she?

Even the priestesses of the shrine are interested in her.

"Nako's soul is very light. The body is very important to us, but to her it is just a container. Containers are regardless of size or type. In order to calm her soul, I gave her a guard, and now the guard is gone. It's useless, what a soul this is, it can go to many places."

The witch was even full of longing when she talked.

Kanako is upset because she doesn't sleep well every night.

The witch reached out and rubbed her head.

"You are still young, you don't understand, how many people dream of having such a soul and eyes, you think, if it weren't for your eyes, how could Ximei stay by your side for three years, and you fulfilled her wish Let yourself have no regrets, okay?"

It didn't seem to be bad, Nako frowned and thought for a while, then remembered that she was here to ask for a new Omoru.

The witch smiled and gave her a string of bracelets. The pink beads are very suitable for Nako.

"The guard is useless to you, you can just wear this bracelet, but let me tell you, the world has already been arranged, and everything you meet is destined."

Yeah?Nako Hayakawa didn't understand at the time.

Until three years later, one day after Nako turned 11, she woke up late at night as usual, but it was not her own room. She could see the low table top and the darkness, and the most frightening thing was Someone is breathing behind me, is it a human?

She wasn't sure, and twisted her body to leave, but why she turned into a small ball and fluffy.

"Carubin, are you still unwell?"

The person behind him turned on the desk lamp and sat up. It was a boy. In the dim environment, she saw his cat-like eyes alone. The boy reached forward to hug her.

Only then did Nako realize that there seemed to be something wrong with herself.

"Meow? Meow meow!!!"

cat meow?Her voice?

Naiko's mood fluctuated too much and she passed out. When she woke up, she was not in that Japanese room. She floated in mid-air, and then came again. She spent most of every night floating in this city, always alone.
